Dwayne Johnson’s Lizard Music: How to Audition for the Upcoming Fantasy Film
Overview
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is taking on one of the most unusual roles of his career in Lizard Music, an upcoming fantasy-adventure film written and directed by Benny Safdie.
Based on Daniel Pinkwater’s cult children’s novel, Lizard Music follows a young boy who discovers mysterious late-night television broadcasts featuring lizards playing music. His search for answers leads him to an eccentric figure known as the Chicken Man, played by Dwayne Johnson, and a surreal world filled with mystery, imagination, and unexpected friendship.
The project has already attracted major attention because it reunites Johnson with Safdie after The Smashing Machine and gives Johnson a dramatically different character to play. Johnson has spoken publicly about slimming down for the whimsical role of the elderly Chicken Man, whose best friend is a chicken named Claudia.
With filming expected to take place in Georgia, New York, and Hawaii, Lizard Music could create exciting opportunities for background actors, photo doubles, stand-ins, and specialty talent.
